DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Camp Sunshine was born during DRT’s winter Play Creation and Performance class earlier this year, when a group of nine actors created an assortment of unusual characters and we began to weave together a story that included them all. At the heart of this story were the themes of searching for connection, struggling to embrace the vulnerability needed to trust others, and being comfortable with sharing your true self. Our class culminated in a staged reading of the play, and since then, more characters have been added, music has been written, and the story tightened and polished. What you will see today is the result of two weeks of intensive rehearsal of this play, a process that included a lot of deep diving into the themes and heart of the characters and storyline. We are all so grateful to the actors for sharing themselves with us, each other, and you. Enjoy the show!
